Shot by Taliban gunmen in her native Pakistan for daring to attend school, Malala Yousafzai, now 16, is a nominee for this year's nobel peace prize. Why? For defending the right of girls in Pakistan to receive an education.

Wouldn't that make Malala as celebrated in Pakistan as she is in New York, where she spoke at the U.N. Youth Assembly - a day they now call “Malala Day”? Nope. Most Pakistanis see her as the West’s poster child.

Watch this propaganda piece by Jewish News One.

This propaganda message has gone viral in the mainstream news. It says the Taliban tried to assassinate Malala over her campaign for girls education and they are now issuing a death threat to kill the nobel peace prize nominee for criticing Islam. Killing her would make them proud.

How incredibly hypocritical of the West, especially the United States, to celebrate one girl when they are directly responsible for depriving millions of girls of basic human rights in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Pakistan.

Much of the American public sees civilian victims of drone strikes and other military intervention as collateral damage. By glorifying Malala’s story, they are using her as an excuse to justify more drone strikes and aggression against the Taliban and against Muslims generally.

The Taliban is a creation of U.S. policies and funding in the 1980s. Their support was all about protecting Afghanistan's opium fields and Wall Street's profits from heroin sales. The CIA also used “humanitarian” front organizations such as the Committee for a Free Afghanistan to fund and train the Mujahideen and eventually the Taliban. The CIA also spent millions of dollars developing and printing textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings for Afghan schoolboys.

We should recognize that American tax dollars helped to create the very Taliban government that now wants to destroy us,” writes Rep. Ron Paul.

“In the late 1970s and early 80s, the CIA was very involved in the training and funding of various fundamentalist Islamic groups in Afghanistan, some of which later became today’s brutal Taliban government. In fact, the U.S. government admits to giving the groups at least 6 billion dollars in military aid and weaponry, a staggering sum that would be even larger in today’s dollars.”

It doesn't take a lot of research to prove the Taliban — and al-Qaeda — were fabricated by the CIA in league with Pakistani and Saudi Arabian intelligence.

MALALA - EXPLOITED HEROINE

Malala is heroic for daring to stand up for her rights even after an assassination attempt. She has her own independent identity as a young, fearless, indigenous activist and she is deserving of a peace prize.

Unfortunately, Malala is being used by the west to deliver a message that supports and justifies a racist war against Muslims and the use of America's tax dollars for drone strikes that kill innocent children. Oh well, it's collateral damage. It can't be helped. The important thing is to kill those dirty Muslims.
